Since 2014, the Steering Committee has annually awarded a prize named after distinct plant taxonomist and former chairman of the Society Dr. Josef Holub (1930–1999). The prize is awarded to young botanists not older than 30 years for their papers published in the journals of the Society (i.e. Preslia, Bryonora, or Reports of the Czech Botanical Society). The prize is handed over at the General Assembly at the end of November for papers published in the previous year.
